Get the greenflash mug.Looking West, at the Ocean, just at sunset when the last part of the Sun dips below the horizon, there's a brilliant green flash, similar in color to the green seen thru prisms. It lasts less than 1 second. A rarely~seen natural phenomena!
I was fortunate to see the Green Flash at the Cliff House at San Francisco, California. Only later did I learn that it's rare to see this!

Get the Greenflame mug.Political term, meaning a whitewash except over something ecological. A greenwash is when an environmentally destructive corporation or institution gives itself a makeover to make itself look ecologically friendly, without really changing anything. For instance, it embraces green-sounding rhetoric and imagery, produces glossy PR about its supposed environmental initiatives and makes a show of "listening" to opponents, but it doesn't actually abandon the practices which led to its being condemned as being anti-ecological in the first place.
BP's rebranding, including a new logo with a yellow sun on a green background and slogans about looking after the planet, is a classic example of greenwash.
